Recommendations for building a computer to do hosting

Will be building a new computer intended for both casual use, and for hosting an hl2 server. We know what the recommended specs are for playing hl2, but what about hosting hl2?

for any type of server you're going to want fast fast I/O

Your budget is a big factor here. most servers run SCSI and RAID, xeon processors.
